1. [R3] 5/5 · US Alpha: Great read!!
2. [R10] 5/5 · US Great app: The books are great. The app is easy to navigate. Highly recommend.
3. [R15] 4/5 · US So far: The story is good enough so far to make me willing to pay to go farther. I seldom pay to go farther or leave reviews.
4. [R16] 5/5 · US Great books: I love to read the books on this app
5. [R22] 5/5 · US LOVE THIS APP‼️: There are so many great books on this app, I find myself reading 12-16 hours a day! People who are complaining about ads and rewards, obviously don’t read the rules or how to use the rewards properly. I’ve got an entire library saved, and as soon as I finish one book, I’m off to my saved library to start the next. I’ve even discovered book series, and how to properly store them
6. [R4] 1/5 · US If I could give it a negative start I would: App is ridiculous with how many adds you have to watch to earn anything for next chapter. There are better apps out there. And good thing some books are available elsewhere and I can just buy the whole book and not over pay here.
7. [R8] 3/5 · US Good story plots: The story lines are great, but the amount to purchase vouchers is quite high.
8. [R12] 5/5 · US Good stories: Good stories, but too expensive to keep gong…
9. [R13] 1/5 · US Way too expensive: You wind up spending $80 to finish the story you’ve become engrossed in, absolutely ridiculous
10. [R20] 4/5 · US It’s alright: I wish getting coins to read was easier or it wasn’t so many to read one chapter. Stories are good.
11. [R25] 3/5 · US Some good stories: I feel like you should be able to watch are to unlock chapters, instead of getting vouchers or coins.
12. [R28] 2/5 · US It’s alright: I think the stories are great but it only lets you read so many until you have to have points and the point system is an absolute joke
13. [R6] 1/5 · US Books worth the coins-app is odd: I have rated this app one star because of their very poor customer service. The app has split chapters for books I have already purchased and read to 100% and after the split make the chapters I’ve read locked. The chapters are still locked after many months of waiting. My rating of the app will increase in stars when my chapters are finally unlocked as the mult
14. [R7] 1/5 · US Multiple apps and none you can actually cancel: DO NOT SIGN UP OR PAY A CENT HK/iReader own multiple pay-per-chapter apps and at some point I’ve downloaded a couple. I found a truly free reading app with no stolen stories and quit using ppc apps but have been unable to cancel my iReader account for 6 months! I’ve emailed the developer many times with no results. I’m ready to cancel my PayPal accou
15. [R9] 1/5 · US Thieves: The app restructured some books so the chapters split differently than how the author uploaded them. It makes it so already purchased chapters split and you have to repurchase to read. Contacting customer support has resulted in no progress.
16. [R17] 1/5 · US Bonuses: After collecting the bonus from the reading time a gift image pops up in top right corner so you can collect an extra forty bonus points, though can only do ten at a time with an hour wait time in between. My problem is any where from two to four times a week after I collect my reading time reward and tap on the gift image to start collecting the forty points it takes me back to the rewar
17. [R51] 3/5 · US Vouchers Not Credited: This app has a lot of great stories, but is easily expensive. Twice now I’ve purchased a coin pack and my vouchers weren’t credited. I’ve emailed support as it tells you to do, sent pictures of my transactions and still am waiting for a reply. We shall see. Follow Up: 3 days later and I still haven’t been contacted by anyone from this support team. This app is falsely adver
18. [R18] 2/5 · US Want to finish the story but: It would be so much more expensive than going to the bookstore and buying an actual published book without the errors and questionable English.
19. [R30] 2/5 · US Work on translation: A lot of these stories have potential many of them are from a different language so they’re not translated correctly, it’s unfortunate. They need to work on this better.
20. [R38] 1/5 · US Expensive app to read books and they upped the price by 33% without notice: This app is expensive to read the the owner of this app also owns other ones. It costs over $100 to read an ebook if you buy coins to read and that went up by 33% when they upped the price of each chapter. You can’t message the help center without downloading another app because they can’t and won’t help you in the app bec
21. [R42] 1/5 · US Misleading: While i like the story I am reading, its not worth the amount of money I have to pay to finish it, I haven’t paid that much for a Stephen king book…they are advertised as “short stories” and yet the book I got hooked into has 35(304) (that’s they way they did it)chapters AND ITS NOT EVEN FINISHED! I went through all that and spent all that money and don’t get to finish the book. And th
22. [R11] 2/5 · US Not easy to use: I was looking for short stories instead of longer novels. This app, with “shirt story” right in the title, seemed promising. However, I have several book apps already- All of them easier to use and find what you want. Additionally, I can’t find short stories in it at all- all of them are hundreds of chapters so far. Filtering by length is not an option. There is no “short story” s
23. [R19] 5/5 · US I’m giving it 4 stars.: I give it 4 stars because some of the books are really good, but it costs money after a short while. I am currently stuck on chapter 7 and can’t progress further because I don’t have the money to pay $50 for enough vouchers to finish the next chapter but then it just continues for the rest of the chapters and my book I’m reading has 685 chapters. I’m not forking out thousan
24. [R122] 1/5 · US Expensive!!!!! DON’T FALL FOR IT: This app is the worst! It is so expensive to keep reading, and I swear the book never ended. It would’ve taken me over $100 to read the two books in the series and the second one ended on a to-be- continued when I paged through to the end. DO NOT GET THIS APP!!!!
25. [R46] 2/5 · US Watch your bank account!!!: If you purchase Icoin make sure you look at your banking statement! They hit your account for $0.14 here $0.15 there hoping you don’t notice. Shows up as PayPal international service fee but yet there’s no record of the transaction in my PayPal statement.
26. [R92] 1/5 · US Not worth it do not download: They do not show you an honest price for top up. I topped up $2.99 and got charged $7.47. I wiill never recommend this app to anyone and it will be deleted as soon as this review is submitted! They also scam you with thr stories like some are nice but most of all the stories are the same with different names. They can do better.
27. [R117] 1/5 · US STEALING MONEY FRIM MY ACCOUNT: I stopped paying for the subscription because it was too expensive and these stories cost about 100 bucks apiece to read. Even though I canceled my subscription, this app renewed my subscription over and over again, and keeps taking money out of my account. They don’t have a helpdesk to where you can call and complain. They just keep renewing your subscription after
28. [R5] 5/5 · US Review: I only did this for the 20 ivouchers. The stories are good but the chapters are short and you have to pay a lot of money to read the next chapters I'm not trying to come across cheap but I don't know if it's worth it for just 5 pages. I also can't stand it when they are making us give 5 stars for this app when there are other reading apps out there that give just the same service but bette
29. [R47] 5/5 · US Joke: Doing it for the 20 vouchers as it seems everyone else is. Not content with how this app is as clearly stated by many others. I didn’t want to leave a 5 star review without explaining why and listing someone else to believe that this app is worth it.
30. [R49] 1/5 · US Don’t believe the 5s: There are so many five stars for this app because it says you get vouchers for the 5 star which is shady in itself but honestly you get them just for being directed to the rating area. No where does it explain the difference between vouchers and coins, I signed up for the weekly because the book I’m stuck on has 274 chapters. After doing the math if I pay for each chapter
31. [R53] 5/5 · US This is kinda ridiculous: It’s honestly kind of a money scam I’m rating it 5 starts because I get points to read the next chapter but it’s ridiculous and a waste of money and a lot fold wasted times, the stories are good but the time is not
32. [R14] 5/5 · US Not enough non paying ways: I think if this is to continue they really need more ways to be able to get to continue reading the stories.
33. [R52] 1/5 · US Terrible app: You need coins to unlock chapters but unless you pay for coins it’s impossible to unlock chapters. The daily login reward is one coin and chapters cost 30+ coins. There’s no ads to earn more coins, no ads to unlock chapters. It will take weeks to get enough coins to unlock a single chapter without spending money. This is one of the worst reading apps I’ve tried, I would not recommend
34. [R81] 3/5 · US Reading killer: Love the stories they have but there is absolutely no way I’m paying to amount of money out to read the stories . They do not offer free reading coins like the other apps do . And yes the daily stuff given is a joke - if this app wants to continue sadly they need to change their ways . Listen to the audience ( your readers) - make it worth someone’s time to keep your app downloaded
35. [R56] 1/5 · US Chapters: The chapters won’t loan, even though I enough coins to unlock. I have restarted my phone, the app and nothing works! This story was good but app not so much!
